AP 1997 Q4
Three identical resistors, each of resistance 30 Ω are connected in a circuit to heat water in a glass beaker. A 24 V
battery with negligible internal resistance provides the power.
a.
The three resistors may be connected in series or in parallel.
i.
If they are connected in series, what power is developed in the circuit?

Using the battery and one or more of the resistors, design a circuit that will heat the water at the fastest rate
when the resistor(s) are placed in the water. Include an ammeter to measure the current in the circuit and a
voltmeter to measure the total potential difference of the circuit. Draw a diagram of the circuit in the box
below, using the following symbols to represent the components in your diagram.

c.
The resistor(s) in the circuit in part (b) are now immersed in a 0.5 kg sample of water, which is initially at 298
K. The specific heat of water is 4,200 J/kg •K. Assume that all of the heat produced is absorbed by the
water.

Under actual experimental conditions, would the time taken for the water to boil be longer or shorter
than the calculated time in part (c, i)? Justify your answer.
